Neuralink on Wednesday streamed a video of its first human patient playing computer chess with his mind and talking about the brain implant making that possible.

Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur behind ventures like SpaceX and Tesla, has announced a significant breakthrough in brain-computer interface technology. According to Musk, the first human patient implanted with a Neuralink brain chip has made remarkable progress, demonstrating the ability to control a computer mouse using only their thoughts.

Tech mogul Elon Musk made a groundbreaking announcement on Monday, revealing that the first human recipient of Neuralink's brain-chip implant underwent a successful procedure on Sunday and is on the path to recovery.

The team has already demonstrated how roughly 800,000 brain cells in a Petri dish is capable of playing a game of “Pong”!

As the world grapples with the repercussions of climate change, a groundbreaking study has unveiled a new dimension of its far-reaching effects: the profound influence on the human brain.

A paralyzed man has regained the ability to walk smoothly using only his thoughts for the first time, researchers said on May 24, thanks to two implants that restored communication between brain and spinal cord.

The patient Gert-Jan, who did not want to reveal his surname, said the breakthrough had given him "a freedom that I did not have" before.

A Slovenian-German-Dutch team of scientists has identified a modification of a protein which plays a role in early-onset frontotemporal dementia, an important insight into the causes of the disease that could lead to the development of new strategies to treat it.

Encouraging results have emerged from the multi-year research of a team of scientists at the Demokritos National Center of Scientific Research giving hope of future tools for the better treatment of conditions that affect the central nervous system, such as Alzheimer's disease and malignant brain tumors.

A Turkish scientist has proven that human brain cells transplanted into a mouse combine with the mouse brain, establish functional connections and respond to external stimuli.

Conducting their studies at the University of California in the U.S., Duygu Kuzum and her team managed to produce brain organoids with stem cells taken from human skin and transplant them into mice.

It had been previously suggested that modern human-like traits such as large brains evolved with a dietary shift toward greater meat consumption
